Damn, that was crazy. Loved it, though I'll probably watch another time this week and reassess.

I'd argue that this ep deviated more from the books than the entire season and a half that came before it.

I'm glad that I can watch the show and still be genuinely surprised despite reading the books. Also, the changes to Dany's story make it a bit more exciting than the one in COK.

OK, good, sometimes I don't trust my own memory with these books. I was like, "man I can't remember what this slaughter had to do.. with... whaaaaat??!?....."

Yeah it deviated, but really that episode was fantastic from start to finish so I really can't make myself care.
Yeah, I figured they would need to spice up her storyline, so I wasn't surprised by that.

Glad I'm not the only one confused by the finale.
Tywin/Arya scenes really are awesome.

This x1000. Actually happy with them spicing up her story. It's all going to the same end point anyway.

Ygritte is pretty cute. I wasn't feeling her in that one still that was posted before this season began.

There's a lot different from the books, but the only thing that really bothers me is the possibility that (ASOS)
foreign girl is going to replace Jeyne Westerling.
Quoted from CoK:
As he knelt to the block, the kennelmaster said, "M'lord Eddard always did his own killings." Theon had to take the axe himself or look a weakling. His hands were sweating, so the shaft twisted in his grip as he swung and the first blow landed between Farlen's shoulders. It took three more cuts to hack through all that bone and muscle and sever the head from the body...

I thought I had just completely forgotten what happened in ACOK at this point to make Dany go to the Warlocks. Glad they changed it and that I don't have early onset Alzheimer's.
GOod episode but that scene with Littlefinger was bullshit, how on earth would he not know it was her? Dude as smart as Littlefinger would pick that up instantly.
Nice surprises for book readers at the end...but irri noooooooo....what about that scene from season 3??? Thats ok give it to Doreah lol

She looked great in that shot and was pretty good on Downton Abbey
Cast spoiler
She's not replacing her, she is her.

Minor ACOK/ASOS:
I can't be the only one that was waiting for a "You know nothing Jon Snow..." right?

It's a different character, so it's a replacement.

I really thought we were going to get one when she and him were talking.
Who says he didn't recognize her?
I'll bet he knows, and is just going to sit on the knowledge till it's useful to him.I can't recall at all what Petyr's story was in CoK. [COK]
Wasn't he just out of the picture for the whole thing?

It's like they got a True Blood director to handle that episode (not a compliment). Also, the show needs less Dany declaring how she'll take the iron throne with fire and blood. We get it already.
If she is telling the truth about who she is.
Do you mean [ASoS]
when she finishes her off on the boat? I look forward to Doreah taking her place in that scene.

I was waiting for it too.
Yep been looking forward to that scene for awhile!
I hope we still get that a bunch of times.
I would say there is 0% chance he didn't recognize her.
I thought they were already suggesting this episode that she isn't telling the truth about her identity.

Really great episode. Mostly good changes, and they worked within the show universes. Not sure about stealing the Dragons. Seems a bit out there, but exciting cliff hanger I guess.

That killed me, it was like the writers were being a cocktease like she was.

I dunno...I can't see any advantage to him of not pointing her out.

Littlefinger has no idea that's Arya.
TV Dany has been acting in a nonsensically aggressive manner this season, for some reason.

Wait and analyze the situation. Determine how to best use it to his personal advantage. Lannister possession is not the best for him.

Major ACOK.
He was working behind the scenes for essentially the entire book. I don't recall seeing him and learning what he was up to until after the Battle of the Blackwater when he brings Tyrell's and Tywin's armies to defeat Stannis.
